NEW RELEASE


The No-Kids Club - Talli Roland (2014)

Clare's relationship ends when her boyfriend discovers she's not interested in having kids. With her best friend Ellie about to drop her first child, emergency doctor Clare decides she needs to expand her circle to include people who don't have kids. She puts out a call over social media for like-minded people and so The No-Kids Club is formed. Anna, who works part-time in a bookshop, feels fulfilled creating a cosy home environment for husband Michael but has never felt the maternal urge. She's looking for a way to prod Michael off the couch and find a new social outlet and is hoping the no-kids meetup may be the answer. Meanwhile all teacher Poppy wants in her life is a child, but husband Alistair has given up hope in IVF and wants to look at adoption instead. Poppy hopes the meeting will enable her to bond with others going through the same trials. The enjoyable story is told from the viewpoints of all three women, who are childless for different reasons, and readers will find it easy to empathise with their stories. Another reason to join the Talli Roland fan club.



The No-Kids Club, by Talli Roland, is about a woman needing to make some new child-free friends. The summary says: "At almost forty, Clare Donoghue is living child-free and loving it. Then her boyfriend says he wants kids, breaking off their promising relationship. And it's not just boyfriends: one by one, her formerly carefree friends are swallowed up in a nonstop cycle of play dates and baby groups. So Clare declares enough is enough and decides it's time for people who don't have children to band together. And so the No-Kids Club is born. As the group comes together - Anna, who's seeking something to jumpstart a stale marriage, and Poppy, desperate for a family but unable to conceive - Clare's hoping to make the most of the childless life with her new friends. But is living child-free all it's cracked up to be?"
